9:02 pm
>> this is the first battle fora major sunni city sins i.s.i.l. tooksince i.s.i.l.took over last june. it has remained pretty much an i.s.i.l. stronghold since then. trying to take back the city of saddam's home town. but stopped before. this one is huge, more than 20,000 fighters, iraqi military fighters along with iranian backed shia militia. and in this particular fight sunni tribesmen. it is the sunnies that haider al-abadi appealed to saying they would be pardoned if they laid down their arms. going there the today and talking to sunni members of parliament who ended their boycott. on the ground, the tribes have
9:03 pm
approached the town from two fronts. where saddam was found hiding. not only taking back that city which was rigged with explosives from i.s.i.l but in conjunction with the fighting, this city is important not just militarily but near tikrit, a camp spiker where more than 1,000 troops were killed by i.s.i.l. there is so much potential to deepen the sectarian rift, that u.n. has warned everyone they must adhere to basic humanitarian rules. >> jane arraf from baghdad. jamie mcintire, not a part of this operation is the u.s. coalition, why not? >> as you heard stephanie
9:04 pm
there is concern that there could be increased sectarian alienation in the city of tikrit. the u.s. wants i.s.i.l. out of tikrit as much as anyone but also concern that having iranian backed troops could further alienate the sunni minority. >> offered i.s.i.l. fighters what he called one last chance to lay down their arms or face what he termed punishment they deserved because they stood with terrorism. tikrit is a mostly sunni city 80 miles north to baghdad that fell to i.s.i.l. fighters as they marched against iraq last summer in what they portrayed as a revolt against the shia led government. several attempts to retake the city last summer failed but this time the iraqi army has the help of tens of thousands of iranian backed shia militiamen.
9:05 pm
that helps the offense but could inflame sunni intentions, especially if it destroys most of the city. one official told al jazeera america, we can't have another kobani, referring to a sunni citysyriancity that was retain the pentagon made a point of saying it it was not providing air support or other support to the offensive. it is not supporting this operation, explaining iraq is a sovereign country. what officials say in private is that the offensive is an iranian-backed operation with iranian commanders advising and assisting and the u.s. is long
9:06 pm
establishing that it is not affiliated with iran. >> we are not trying to encourage some sort of indirect communication either. >> not only has tikrit symbolic value as the home town of saddam hussein but strategic value the intersection of the highway leading from baghdad to mosul and another key road to the northern oil hub of kirkuk. it could take part in the mosul offensive later this summer. when one u.s. official at the u.s. central command indicated it could start sometime next month officials at the pentagon say they doubt the troops will be ready at that time and do not want to move to mosul until the troops are ready.
9:07 pm
stephanie. >> twitter, why is twitter in i.s.i.l. sites? >> will you know i.s.i.l. has been using soicial -- well you know siel is using social media very effectively. twitter has been taking down these sites almost as fast as they have been put up because of the horrific nature of the sites. co-founder of twitter jack dorsey, saying in the words of one of the posts we will make your virtual war into a real war against you but twitter says it is reviewing those threats with the appropriate law enforcement authorities. >> jamie mcintire for us, jamie thank you. >> australia has banned its operatives from traveling to iraq. latest effort to try to starve i.s.i.l. of foreign fighters.

leader moammar gadhafi. >> israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu will deliver his much debated and discussed speech to congress tomorrow. he is expected to warn lawmakers against negotiating with the iranian government. today the secretary of state expressed concern that confidential details of the deal they are working on might soon be revealed, he urged congress to not condemn a deal that hasn't been determined yet. having accepted that invitation to address congress tomorrow, netanyahu is getting a frosty reception from the white house. tom arkmanman reports on his speech to the biggest lobbying
9:10 pm
organization. >> 8.aipac, should not split democrats from republicans in their traditional staunch support for israel. >> and i regret that some people have misperceived my visit here this week as doing that. israel has always been a bipartisan issue israel should always remain a bipartisan issue. >> tactical mistake netanyahu's decision to accept the joint speech before congress. just as the negotiations to reach a framework nuclear agreement reach a crucial phase. u.s. secretary of state john kerry was concerned.
9:11 pm
>> selective details of the ongoing negotiations will be discussed publicly, in the coming days. i want to say clearly that doing so would make it more difficult to reach the goal that israel and others say they share. in order to get a good deal. >> reporter: while obama will not meet netanyahu here the president said their current dispute should not be exaggerated. >> it's been a distraction. at the same time negotiators are going full speed ahead. ultimately what's been remarkable is the international unity we've been able to maintain in saying to iran, you have to show the world that you are not pursuing a nuclear weapon. >> but netanyahu indicated that iran should be forced to dismantle its nuclear program well before it can weaponnize. >> israel and the united states
9:12 pm
agree that iran should not have nuclear weapons. but we disagree on the best way to prevent iran from developing those weapons. >> the israeli leader says that he has no intention of getting caught up in domestic american politics but that perception may be hard to avoid especially if his speech on tuesday helps to push congress to adopt even tighter sanctions against iran in defiance of obama. tom ackerman, al jazeera washington. >> for more we're joined from newton massachusetts by dov goldman. dov glad to see you. meant no disrespect to the president, israel and united
9:13 pm
states relations are as strong as ever. do his words match his action he? >> clearly they don't match his actions. his action he is he has actually injected a partisan element into the relationship. question is whether he can do damage control by his speech today and tomorrow and in the weeks to come, he is hoping he can smooth things over. i think lasting damage has been done. obama administration is not going to fergt forget thiseesly. this easily. >> with all the congressional democrats boycotting the speech. >> really depends on what they were hoping to achieve by allowing this issue to go on as long as it has.
9:14 pm
one message to israeli voters to subtly suggest to israeli voters or not so subtly that the relationship that the u.s. has with israel will be affected if netanyahu is reelected. in some sense this has been if not deliberately engineered at least played up on both sides for their own political purposes. >> right, do we have both sides trying to get involved in the other's electoral politics? >> absolutely. i mean the obama administration i think has been doing this more subtly if you like than netanyahu has done. but in allowing this to go on and the statements and the leaks that they have made they have been signaling i think to israeli voters that netanyahu is not an asset that rather is a liability and the u.s. israeli relationship at least when netanyahu is in charge of israel is going to suffer as a result. whether that will actually play well in the israeli election
9:15 pm
remains to be seen. i suspect many of netanyahu's own voters will not be really prayedpersuaded, but he will do better as a result of the confrontation rather than worse. >> the polls show him in a dead heat. what overshad toe deal with iran could he have hurt his cause in trying toing try to redirect the nuclear program? >> that is the heart of the question. there are many people in israel who themselves share netanyahu's concern about the emerging deal that is rumored to be coming about. basically the criticism is not that netanyahu's position on this deal is wrong but the way he's gone about this last been harmful, he has undermind undermined
9:16 pm
whatever leverage he might have had. even if you take netanyahu at face value and say yes he's genuinelygenuinely sincerely concerned about the deal, that's why he is speaking to congress qulm this is the best way to go, whether this is the best way to go about it, in making this so public in that he couldn't have achieved the same goal trying to pursued broad congress. persuade congress . >> tel aviv ahead of the israeli elections. >> in egypt a car bomb exploded outside the high court authorities disarmed a second bomb before it could go off. two died and nine others injured.

9:18 pm
government is behind the death of his friend boris nemtsov.
9:19 pm
9:20 pm
judge in eastern ukraine a ceasefire seems to be holding for now. but both ukraine and the pro-russian rebels are accusing each other of violating the deal. >> john hendren reports from the front lines in donetsk. >> the machinery of war keeps rolling through a fragile ceasefire. the silence is broken daily by small arms fire and mortars. that's ours he says. >> translator: in principle the ceasefire is holding but there's regular small arms fire so complete ceasefire can't exist. before you arrived here, small shells are landed on our side. >> as occasional volleys
9:21 pm
routinely violate the tenuous ceasefire, a report from the u.n. found 6:,000 6,000 people have died so far. >> translator: the ceasefire from our side we are not just trying, we are upholding it completely. the firing yesterday was because they violated the minsk agreement and started to open-fire. >> the death toll continues to rise on a landscape transformed by war. the front line continues to shift. in weekend fighting three were killed. few at the front line expect the front line to hold. >> we are strengthening our defenses in preparation for the next attack. >> reporter: with separatist troops appearing to want to expand on the gains they already made, the front line may shift
9:22 pm
again. john hendren, al jazeera eastern ukraine. boris nemtsov was with his girlfriend a ukrainian model. now on her way back to ukraine. she did not see the shooter because the attack came from behind them. now the white house is weighing in. >> this is an indication of a climate, at least inside of russia in which civil society independent journalists, people trying to communicate on the internet have felt increasingly threatened. >> meanwhile a member of the european parliament from latvia was denied entrance into russia. she was set to attend nemtsov's
9:23 pm
funeral tomorrow. >> many left flowers and presents on the bridge where nemtsov was shot. garry capsry kasparov sait down with alsat down withrichelle carey. >> when did you last speak with your friend boris nemtsov and when did you fear for his safety? >> i had to leave russia two years ago recognizing that staying there could be dangerous. i know in february, he at least did two interviews, he-he expressed his fear of being murdered. and it was highly unusual. this is the man who was always full of life. >> not a fearful man?
9:24 pm
>> you know, he was bursting with energy and he was 55, but you know, you could be jealous of his energy. and you know, going against the tide. so he was not afraid. probably bravest of us all. and he was the most vocal critic of putin's regime. i would feel putin considered him as his personal enemy. >> after the system? >> he concentrated on putin as a symbol of the system. when people asked me who could benefit killing nemtsov in front of kremlin? putin is the one and the only one, putin's regime. >> if you have an 86% approval rating that's what putin says he has, why would you kill someone like boris? the russian government has suggested that perhaps he was killed by one of his colleagues and then it could be blamed on the government. where do you fall on that?
9:25 pm
>> really, colleagues. so many putin's enemies die and every time we're looking for someone tolls come up with a theory that could satisfy the government. he was murdered in front of kremlin. and this is place that has more video equipment than your studio or from any studio in the world and by accident the snow removal track just stopped at the spot covering the angle of the camera that could actually show the face of the killer. how many people knew the angle of the camera? >> vladimir putin the kremlin they say there will be a thorough investigation. having said that i suspect you don't beef that. how do you believe you go about having a thorough investigation of what actually happened? >> we will not because everything vladimir putin promised either turn to be false or is just destroying ukraine. he keeps lying about everything that russian troops have been doing there. so how can we trust this man
9:26 pm
when he just -- when he talked about his personal enemy? >> nemtsov's colleagues say he was putting together a report on russia's involvement in ukraine. >> russian troops participating in military action in eastern ukraine. that's going to be very damaging. considering the success and the impact of the nemtsov previous reports on putin's regime this is something that definitely vladimir putin and his cronies didn't want to see happen. >> you touched on this a little bit. you have been part of your own movement opposing the government. tell me what that is like, what your experience is like going up against the administration there? >> look, whether we started in 2004-2005, we thought it was difficult but it was a very vigilant time. at that time you could be detained or maybe put in jail for five or ten days. for the same quote unquote crime you go to jail for five or ten years.
9:27 pm
>> you describe it as part of the territory knowing you're going to go to jail. >> again it was light by current standards but until boris was murdered it was still we were still talking about being in prison. now it's the next step. and let's not forget. boris was not just an ordinary leader of the opposition. not the most formidable force in the small group. he was first deputy prime minister under elliot elliot scin yeltsin and a favorite. when he talked about boris yeltsin's grave mistake of choosing putin instead of him 40 minutes later he was dead. >> the crime scene was hosed down just after the murder and boris nemtsov's home was raided and his computers seized juts a

9:33 pm
politicians. in politics he's considered new blood but his professional career has been long in the making. he served in the second lebanon war in 2006 and was once netanyahu's chief of staff. bennett and his wife had all the makings of a modern couple. years ago they moved to new york city building a software company that made him a millionaire. he rejects the two state solution. >> i want to help lead israel in the vision that i believe in, the vision if you will of a light house in a storm a light house that's strong in the muslim storm. >> after last year's fighting in gaza bennett wrote in an op ed in the new york times for its security israel cannot withdraw from more territory and cannot allow for a establishment of a palestinian state in the west

bank, the entire country would become a target for terrorists. some political analysts say bennett will make a play to be prime minister of israel one day. if he gets the job he will annex most of the west bank. earlier i spoke with naftali bennett. he told me israel will do everything it can to keep iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. >> do israelis care as much about iran as they do about say, the rising cost of housing? >> yes i mean obviously people are very concerned of their day-to-day lives and the cost of living and housing. but we have this huge shadow in the region calls the islamic republic of iran that is about to sign a deal that will legitimize and pave a route for iran to acquire a nuclear
9:35 pm
weapon. we have to act now to stop this horrendous deal from happening. because if it happens not only israel will be harmed but the whole middle east will go nuclear. >> so what is your solution to keeping iran from getting a nuclear weapon? >> very simple. ratchet up the sanctions and wait until iran understands they have an either-or situation. either you go for a bomb or you have an economy. you can't have both. if you continue pursuing the nuclear bomb your economy will fall apart under the stress of these sanctions together with tanking oil prices. and the point is that we're so close to that situation iran if we just persist in applying these sanctions iran will have to give up its nuclear program. >> so iran has always insisted that its nuclear development was for civilian purposes.
9:36 pm
you obviously do not trust that pnl why wouldn't.why wouldn't you give diplomacy a chance? >> because iran has proved to be liars. they have already violated six security council resolutions that forbid it from having one centrifuge, now they have 19,000 centrifuges. if one lies again and again you don't trust them. the notion this time around we can trust iran is ridiculous. >> israel bombed a nuclear site in iraq, more recently iran a different case. under what circumstances would you sport unilaterally unilateral attacks? >> we have one independent state
9:37 pm
in the middle east, israel. khamenei says, israel has to be droid, in november of 2013, the long term goal was to remove the occupying zionist state in the middle east. >> supporting unilateral military action against iran. >> i won't give the exact recipe. i'll stay the this, the state of israel will not let iran acquire a nuclear weapon we'll have to do what we need to do. >> okay i want to talk about the israeli-palestinian issue. you have agreed with the prime minister, you don't believe in a two-state solution in fact you
9:38 pm
said that parts a and b of the west bank could be governed by the palestinians to sumsome degree but in area c for example your plan says that palestinians would become israeli citizens. how would you sell that plan to the palestinians? >> we live side by side and they're not going anywhere and we're not going anywhere so we got to figure out how to live together. my plan say they have self-governance and autonomy, and israeli governed areas full fledged israeli citizens if they want. if they don't want they can remain palestinian authority citizens. i'm not going to tell them what to do. i want the palestinians to be able to govern themselves, pay their own taxes elect their own government. i don't want to govern them, at the end of theatthe end of the day --
9:39 pm
>> they won't be allowed to have a military correct under your plan? >> that's correct because if they have a military they're going to terrific israeli state and that is not something i'm willing to have. >> you clearly are an ambition person. clearly you have gained a lot of attention in your relatively short time in israeli politics. is it your goal to be prime minister of israel one day? >> no. my goal is to have a very strong and flourishing israel as we have today. i'll do it in whatever position the israeli public places me. >> bennett also told me believes the israeli public is look for a firm security policy and bennett says his party offers that. >> a boycott of israeli products is now under way in the west bank. fatah activist, called for this last month after israel withheld tax revenues.
